The object of this Regulation is to exempt certain holders of authorities under the Exhibited Animals Protection Act 1986 from the requirement that they obtain the consent of the Director-General of the Department of Agriculture before they acquire animals for exhibition, dispose of exhibited animals or remove animals from authorised premises.
The holders of authorities who are exempted from this requirement are persons who have satisfactorily completed an animal exhibitor’s accreditation course of a kind specified by the Director-General, hold a certificate of exemption issued by the Director-General and comply with any conditions to which the certificate of exemption is subject.
A certificate of exemption may be cancelled if the person to whom it is issued fails to comply with the requirements of the Exhibited Animals Protection Act 1986, the Exhibited Animals Protection Regulation 1989 or the conditions to which the certificate is subject. In addition, failure to comply with those conditions renders the holder of an authority to whom a certificate has been issued liable to a maximum penalty of $1,000.
This Regulation is made under the Exhibited Animals Protection Act 1986, including section 4 and section 53 (the general regulation making power).
